If the father is unknown, or if he is known but his legal paternity has not been established, or if he is known and his legal paternity has been established but his nationality is unknown or he is stateless, the child retains the nationality of his Kuwaiti mother, a tie which is not invalidated, as a result of which the children acquire Kuwaiti nationality through the mother.
En caso de que el padre sea desconocido, o bien sea conocido pero no se haya establecido legalmente la paternidad, o en caso de que sea conocido y se haya establecido legalmente la paternidad, pero se desconozca su nacionalidad, o el padre sea apátrida, el niño mantiene la nacionalidad de su madre kuwaití, y ese vínculo no caduca, de modo que los hijos adquieren la nacionalidad kuwaití por conducto de su madre.
